the heavy stuff right now is in seattle and portland. this will begin to slide down to the south as our next punch of moisture comes through later on today and tonight. an inch or two is all we expect. maybe a little bit more in the mountains. again it's pretty high snow levels here, so we're not really storing a lot of that snow like we'd like to. speaking of snow, not a whole lot of it in places like chicago, the rocky mountains, as well. and it's been warm across much of the east coast. you get a bit of a cooldown over the next few days. temperatures could be record breaking across the eastern quarter of the country. >> record breaking. it was beautiful. it was 60 something in new york and washington, d.c. >> all right, thanks, rob. seven minutes past the hour. new this morning the head of nato says if syrian president bashar al assad were to use chemical weapons against his own people, it would provoke an international response. president obama has also warned there would be consequences. last night on out front a former deputy assis
